embodiment 1

[0043

[0044]Hereinafter, a haptic sensation producing device, an information terminal, a haptic sensation producing method, and a program according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0045]Device Configuration

[0046]Firstly, a configuration of a haptic sensation producing device and an information terminal according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the information terminal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing constituent components of the information terminal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0047]As shown in FIG. 1, an information terminal 100 according to Embodiment 1 is a tablet-type information terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the information terminal 100 is equipped with a display panel 20 for displaying a content, a touch sensor 30 for detecting a positi...

embodiment 2

[0158

[0159]Hereinafter, a haptic sensation producing device, an information terminal, a haptic sensation producing method, and a program according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing constituent components of the information terminal according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0160]As shown in FIG. 9, a haptic sensation producing device 80 according to Embodiment 2 is different from the haptic sensation producing device 10 according to Embodiment 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in the configuration of a haptic sensation producing member 81. In Embodiment 2, a configuration in which the haptic sensation producing member 81 includes a display panel 82 is employed.

[0161]Specifically, in Embodiment 2, the display panel 82 for displaying a content functions as the haptic sensation producing member 81. Further, a touch panel 83 is used as a touch sensor, and the touch panel 83 is fixed to the f...

Abstract

A haptic sensation producing device (10) for presenting a haptic sensation to a user is equipped with a panel-like haptic sensation producing member (11) that is disposed on the front face side of a display panel (20), wires (12) for holding the haptic sensation producing member (11), wire tensile units (13) that are provided for the respective wires and pull the corresponding wires, and a control unit (14) that controls the wire tensile units (13) to move the haptic sensation producing member (11) and generate the haptic sensation. If a change occurs in an object in a content as a result of a touch by the user, the control unit (14) calculates tensile forces such that the haptic sensation conforming to the change can be generated and the tensile forces are optimized, and controls the wire tensile units (13) based on the calculated tensile forces.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT / JP2012 / 079260 filed Nov. 12, 2012, claiming priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-266323, filed Dec. 5, 2011, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a haptic sensation producing device for presenting (transmitting) a haptic sensation to a user, an information terminal, such as a POS terminal or a mobile terminal, that is equipped with the haptic sensation producing device, a haptic sensation producing method, and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for realizing the haptic sensation producing device, the information terminal, and the haptic sensation presenting method.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In recent years, more and more information terminals have employed a touch panel as an input device. Since a touch panel can be disposed so as to be...
